Outsourcing Editorial Services

Commercial publishers are constantly looking for ways to both reduce costs and create compelling content that differentiates them from their competition. In the past 15 years, an increasing number of publishers have sought to answer this challenge by outsourcing selected editorial services to offshore content service providers.

But there's more to outsourcing than simply shipping publications and finished manuscripts to a third party provider. In fact, many firms have been reluctant to take this step because they don't believe they will get acceptable quality or reduce costs sufficiently.

When publishers properly execute an offshore outsourcing model, however, they can reap impressive cost savings and realize equal, if not better, content quality, particularly on such tasks as abstracting and indexing.

In the first, co-sponsored by American Business Media, we'll offer practical advice on how to choose the right outsourcing partner for your operation.
